    those 12" kings are badass man. Tyler (Pelfreybilt) makes a super sick relocation kit that can bolt on 2.0 King bumps as well in the back with the 12" Kings that Alex runs...pretty much a perfect mid travel rear right there amigo :D

    Nick go with the 700# Icon springs if you are bombing in the sand and dropping down eating up your tires on the fenders...The 700# is perfect for that and will go nicely with the AP Apex, winch (future), and skids you got...I have the same problem with the 650# springs on the Icons when I'm out in the desert. My fenders are gapping and all jacked from nailing them in da whooooops :D. I have the 700# springs but decided not to install them just yet. I love the ride of the 650# and will go with 700# if and when I get a bumper/winch.

    I considered Icons, but I think I'm leaning toward Kings. Plus I don't think Rebel Off Road has Icons (at least not on their website) and the gift card kinda dictates my purchase :D

    Yeah I really like his kit too, but damn it's $$. May just go with BAMFs


    btw... Sorry Nick for jacking your thread ;)

    I know it's your truck and decisions but why are you going with 12" kings and relation when you know you want LT :confused: this doesn't make sense...do it once and do it right; saves $$$$ :thumbsup:

    Im only going 2 inch LT in the front. Ill just do a relocation in the rear. I cant take up bed space for long travel in the rear.

    That's a good plan. If I ever got crazy and decided to do LT I would build the rear LT (with minimal bed space taken) and keep the MT up front. Throw in some 16" bypasses and call it a day :D

    Nick, Howzit homie! I need an alignment with the Icon Tubulars...How did your alignment with those bad boys turn out? Can I leave the dust covers on for the alignment or do I need to take off? Thanks man.

    Hey Mademan925, I'm in the market for an RTT and I didn't wanna spend a ton of money. Wanted a good quality one for under $1000 and I was looking at your Tepui Ayer. How do you like it? Can you give me some feedback on it on the quality of the materials and how it's worked for you. Thanks man

    My alignment numbers are good. I couldnt find the spec sheet but they had no problems. I have never aligned a truck so I dont know if the caps can be on or off but I dont believe the allignment has anything to do with the uniball.

    I love my tepui. The materials are very stong and it will last me many years. I do wish I went with a slightly bigger size. Its nice when Im camping alone but alittle crowded with the wife. Bay area metal fab has some custom pricing if you call him(Jerry). He can get you a tent for around 15% off if I recall correctly, but you will have to pick it up from tepui in santacruz.

    Very cool. Thanks for letting me know. That's a good point. My wife always comes with me on camping trips so I think maybe the Tepui Kukenam might be the answer since its a little bigger. And I appreciate the tip for Jerry at BAMF. Yeah the drive would be about 7 hours for me haha but I do have family up there so maybe I could pick one up while I'm visiting. Thanks dude! Very nice truck by the way. I have a 2013 DCLB slowly building it up.

    I think he said he could get 10% off if he has to ship it but Shipping is going to be pricy.

    Have you heard of Tentsonarack? They are an RTT very close to me in Newport Beach that I've been doing some research on. Seems as though they have very close to the same dimensions as the tepui tents and also made of the same materials. I might check them out so I wouldn't have to spend a lot on gas to pick up and wouldn't incur huge shipping costs.
